Partior

Partior is a Singapore-based blockchain technology company focused on transforming global financial market infrastructure. It is developing a decentralized, programmable, and 24x7 platform that aims to make cross-border movement of liquidity more seamless, secure, and scalable. Partior's global unified ledger and atomic settlement capabilities are designed to address inefficiencies experienced by financial institutions, including settlement delays, limited transaction transparency, and high operating costs.

Partior's platform interoperates with both digital and non-digital asset and currency networks, providing real-time, cross-border multi-currency payments, Payment vs.. Payment (PvP), Delivery vs.. Payment (DvP) settlements, and trade finance functions. The company facilitates atomic clearing and settlement over a unified ledger, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation while ensuring full value transfer and real-time visibility of transaction status.

Partior's technology is intended to complement and interoperate with real-time local currency payment and real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems globally, enabling both direct and indirect settlement flows. The shared ledger enables instant liquidity transfers with real-time settlement finality and transparency, addressing challenges faced by institutions operating globally and relying on traditional cross-border payments infrastructure.

Key customers and partnerships

In November 2022, Standard Chartered invested in Partior and became a founding shareholder, serving as the first Euro settlement bank for the platform. This partnership strengthened Partior's international reach and capabilities, enabling the expansion of its currency offerings beyond the initial slate of eight global currencies by 2023.

In May 2023, Deutsche Bank and SMBC joined Partior's network, further expanding its global footprint and partnerships with leading financial institutions.

Partior is actively engaged with central banks, including the central banks of Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and South Africa, as well as the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub, to explore the integration of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) into its platform.
